In this session, Dr. Letetia Mary Addison , Adjunct Lecturer at The University of the West Indies and winner of the 2024 Global AI Innovation Challenge, presents her groundbreaking project, AI4SIDS - an AI-powered platform designed to enhance climate resilience in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Dr. Addison also discusses how AI4SIDS leverages real-time data from Internet of Things devices, social media, and weather reports, utilizing advanced AI models like GPT-4 and Whisper to deliver localized, multi-channel alerts, and educational resources in local languages. The platform's predictive analytics and automated feedback loops aim to optimize disaster response strategies with minimal human intervention, empowering communities to better prepare for climate-induced disasters. This episode underscores the critical role of innovative, data-driven solutions in enhancing disaster preparedness and resilience in vulnerable regions and the transformative potential of AI in addressing climate challenges faced by SIDS .
